Colin, as a guy with loads of production mixing experience, I figured it’d be you who’d guess correctly! Yes, indeed, the second mic is a Countryman B3 lav, hidden in the front placket of my shirt, at the second button down. Nice job! :-)

I ride a Specialized myself. Haven’t tried recording it yet, though :) I just wanted to let you know you are doing a great job with your blog. I really like the sounds and really like the clean design as well!
And, good performance on that video!

Kudos on your first video – I am a huge, huge fan of people sharing their knowledge of sound design and recording techniques, and this video podcast has made me very happy indeed.

Thought you’d be interested to know that I did a lot of this kind of recording back in 2008 for a film I was working on that had these crazy-fast robot motorcycles roaring through a post-apocalyptic wasteland (sound familiar?) – along with many other design elements, my tire recordings brought a lot of character to these vehicles.

However, i too have wondered what became of the robot – I thought we might see a shot of him in the bg mowing the lawn or doing some light dusting or something. But now we hear he’s for the scrap heap! A robot’s not just for christmas nathan………
